Can I mount a shelf on drywall without metal studs?!
With Elephant Anchors, you can securely mount a shelf on drywall without needing metal studs!Ā
Mounting a shelf on drywall can feel like a challenge, especially if you can’t locate your metal studs. Traditional mounting methods rely on studs for support, but what if your studs are spaced too far apart or you simply canāt find them? Does that mean you have to give up on your dream of having a sturdy shelf on your wall? Absolutely not!Ā
Why Are Metal Studs So Hard to Find? š§
If you’ve been searching for your metal studs using a stud finder and still coming up empty, you’re not alone. Here are a few common reasons why:
Metal studs are spaced further apart than wooden ones, typically around 24 inches, making them harder to locate.
Drywall and paint layers can interfere with your stud finderās accuracy.
Your stud finder may be detecting pipes or electrical wires, which can be misleading.
Some walls are built with hollow drywall sections, making it seem like studs are nowhere to be found.
If this sounds familiar, donāt worryāthereās a solution!
